I am finally here! Thanks Gloria for the invite! Seeing lots of names I already know! For those I don't already know, Hi I'm Jen! I am from central PA. I'm a mom of 2, a 3 yr old and a 9 yr old. Besides gardening, I enjoy just generally being outdoors, music and movies. Oh and shopping! Love poppies! Some others I love are hardy geraniums, lilies of all kinds, gaillardia and so much more. I have a large daylily collection and my iris collection is on its way too. Looking forward to making some new gardening friends here!
Welcome Jen!
Perfect age "3" to get the children in the garden touching worms and learning all about bugs!*lol The 9yr old may not go for it *LOL
My Daughter was wonderful until about 7 then she suddenly feared yukky bugs
I lost her faithfulness in the bug dept that year She wont even touch a worm!*LOL A spider will keep her away for about a month!

Hey Jen, I'm so glad you decided to join us. I thought you'd like it here, I sure do. Make yourself at home and if you need any help, just holler. See ya in the forums.
Randy..I like most, rock and metal are what I listen to most though. I listen to some rap, hip hop, country, oldies, a little of almost everything! We have all of the Guitar Hero games and several SingStar games, I love playing them. The kid in me takes over sometimes!!
Well..geeez Jen, I would never have thought you for a rock and metal person. I remember when my kids were growing up and now and then they would get a cassette of metal stuff. Something always happened to rid my home of it...hehehehe (I'll never tell)
I do like music of different catagories. Southern gospel is the best and country behind that. Then a little classical and a little of this and that and if I'm feeling really good, throw in a little rock'n roll!
I bet you've never heard of Maybelle Carter.
Gloria I just keep suprising you don't I! I don't think I can say I have ever heard of her. I am more drawn to metal/rock than anything else. Hubby doesn't like it, so when we go away together he tries to sneak a country cd in or southern rock. I do like oldies, although, probably more from the 50's and 60's. My favorite is Buttercup.
Yes, Jen you definitely do keep surprising me! Too bad we can't share all we have in common here but too much personal info!! I'm still amazed!
I don't guess many do remember Mother Maybelle Carter! You are probably too young anyways!! LOL. She was the mother of June Carter Cash (the wife of Johnny Cash.) I know you know who Johnny Cash was???
Anyway, she played the guitar, autoharp and banjo ..country and gospel music. You can google her name and find vidio's of her performances. I fell in love with the sound of her autoharp music and told my Mom that I wanted one! She ordered it from the Sears and Roebuck catalog in 1963. I took to it immediately, playing by ear and have played one since. I purchased a new and updated one in 2000 and have passed down the first one to my daughter.
